ARROWS STORM THEIR WAY INTO THE
QUARTER FINALS
With all of
the final week matches in the group stages of the League Cup completed the
qualifying teams can now be revealed. The Waveney Arrows made full use of their
handicap start against the league champions to fly to the top of group two and
into the quarter finals. Dominators had been group leaders up until this match
and were caught napping as Tom Petifier, Kevin Jones and Stuart Faulkner made
short work of their opponents with a stunning 9-0 victory. Dominators
themselves had already qualified thanks to their previously unbeaten record and
finish now second place in this group, they may not have need the points but
whereas Arrows now proceed on a high, Dominators are left considering the ease

The Mill
Lane Spartans kept the Kites firmly tethered on their visit to the
From group
one the Gorleston Conservatives made qualification easy for the Piranhas by
only fielding two players. Ryan Moore and Ernie George picked effortlessly
through the visiting team with only Malcolm Vasey denying the Piranhas a clean
sweep. The Piranhas are joined by the Waveney Tables who had to fight hard to
earn the win against Misfits and just enough points to book the second spot in
group one. The Tables took an early lead thanks to wins from Wally Ladmore, Eddie Mason and Stephen Cruickshanks, but a David
Etheridge led Misfits fought back to a 5-4 finish. This recovery pulled the
Misfits level with the Sidewaves who themselves gained a 7-2 victory at
The final
qualifying position went to LCC Shakers as one of the two best third placed teams.
They beat the Oddbods on a visit to
In other
matches, Trimwise just failed to make their third position enough to qualify
when they ducked out 5-4 to Hits. One additional game would have been enough
for Trimwise but Dave Logan, Mick Bayfield and Tony Mitchell were having none
of it and fought for every set available. And David Boatman played a controlled
and tactical game for the Terminators to keep the Critters leashed, but with
both teams already struggling to qualify there was little more than pride at
stake.
